XANT wind turbines can be erected without a crane, effectively halving the installation costs when compared to bringing a crane on-site. XANT tilt-up towers need only 5 smaller foundations and can even be concrete-less if cement is hard to get by.
The XANT M-21 can be tilted down to withstand CAT4 and CAT5 hurricanes and becomes a grid-forming unit in combination with batteries.

DEME is a leading player in dredging, environmental and maritime engineering with a global presence. DEME's continuous quest for doing business in the most sustainable way has led to the installation of a XANT M wind turbine at their headquarters in Antwerp, Belgium. The XANT wind turbine provides up to 20 % of the site electricity consumption and reduces the utility bill with 10%.

ASK OUR CLIENTS

“As a global leader in biomass to energy solutions, we were keen to reduce our carbon footprint and cost of electricity with green energy generated on site. The XANT turbine is an asset to our HQ without impacting on the local area. The XANT guyed tower turbine was installed in only 4 days, without requirement for major tools. The quietness of the XANT turbine impressed us positively. Finally, we look forward to continue working with XANT for our other settlements.”

“For Pilot Point on off grid village in Alaska, we as the system integrator will integrate mid-size wind with a diverse range of energy storage to go DIESEL OFF till 70% of the time. As mid-size wind turbine provider, we have chosen XANT because of remoteness of the site. The containerized transport, crane less erection, the easiness of integration in the bigger project and the Extended Temperature Range (- 40°C) make the wind turbine particularly suitable for harsh remote places. Today other villages with similar conditions are being approached with the diesel off solution.”

“As a global, leading player in dredging, environmental and marine engineering with a continuous quest for doing business in the most sustainable way, we have chosen to install a XANT wind turbine in our corporate colors at our HQ. The turbine is powering directly our charging points for electrical vehicles Because of the vicinity of natural habits, an avifauna monitoring program has been set up. The availability of 98% the XANT wind turbine reaches is just the cherry on the cake for us.
We look forward to continue working with XANT for future projects our group has in mind.”

Test, test, test and test again Recent tests at the REIDS micro-grid demonstrator demonstrated the capability of the XANT M turbine to act as a controlled power source. Together with the teams of Schneider Electric, ENGIE Lab Singapore and the Nanyang Technological University the firsts tests were performed with in an all-renewable configuration of the[…]

The Port of Ostend has become a leading wind energy hub providing training and accommodation for the maintenance crews and serving as sail-out port for the installation of the offshore farms in the North Sea. In a setting where each square meter of ground surface is an asset that can be rented out, the choice[…]

This year XANT will broaden its product portfolio with the new XANT L platform, taking the XANT USP’s to the 250-330kW power level. The XANT L extends the suitability of the XANT turbines into the MW-size range and for larger off-grid projects that require more installed wind capacity, the XANT L will be a more[…]

Apart from cost-efficient remote-power plants, XANT wind turbines also become assets on a balance sheet. Larger projects consisting of multiple turbines, or projects in rural areas of the south are often debt-financed. Understandably banks ranging from international development aid agencies to the branch office of your local bank like to see an independent review by[…]

Societal change as our most precious achievement Triggered by the frustration of seeing too many hybrid-power projects fail because of inadequate technology, the XANT team set out to design robust wind turbines for the off-grid power market back in 2008. We have come a long way since and XANT turbines have now spread across the[…]

When one of the biggest utility companies in the world turned to XANT to find a repowering solution for an older mid-size wind turbine, our design department gladly accepted the challenge. Raising the bar even higher, they wanted a gearless turbine as replacement of the current machine to be installed on the existing tower. And[…]

REIDS The Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is leading the Renewable Energy Integration Demonstrator – Singapore (REIDS) project, which will be the largest hybrid microgrid test and research platform in the tropics. XANT was selected by ENGIE Lab, one of REIDS’ partners, to supply a XANT M turbine with tilt-up tower for the Phase 1 of[…]

A few decades ago the rural electrification market was caught in a Catch-22: those with the need (for clean affordable electricity) did not have the money to pay for it, those with the money don’t want to invest in the technology, and those with the technology did not have access to those who have the[…]

Introduction The location is an island in the Atlantic Ocean and one of the more remote places on this earth. The local utility company has put out an RFP for the installation and operation of renewable power plants on the island grid. Applicants should act as Independent Power Producers (IPP) and propose a Power Purchase[…]

XANT turbines are conceived for operation in small grids. Whether called micro-grids, island grids or even off-grid, the smaller the grid the bigger the challenge to balance consumption and generation of electricity! This is conflicting with the increasing use of renewables to power these grids. XANT turbines address this challenge without the need for adding[…]
